TLT Sandwich
This tofu sandwich is a vegetarian version of the classic “BLT,” offering all the flavor without the fat, cholesterol, or nitrates of bacon. Be sure you use a non-stick skillet to cook the tofu. For anyone looking for a hearty, substantial, satisfying, nutritious, and meatless lunch – it’s hard to beat the TLT Sandwiches. It’s a classic dish from America, which is healthier and even tastier than the old-fashioned bacon lettuce tomato (BLT) sandwiches. Remember this great dish when you want to show your skeptical omnivore friends or family how delicious and satisfying vegan food can be!
